Web.KeyCode

Description

Keyboard events in web browsers are often represented as keycodes, which (1) are difficult to remember, and (2) sometimes vary from browser to browser. This module allows one to look up a key press's KeyCode and get a plain English description of the Key that was pressed, to reduce confusion.

Since: 0.1

Synopsis

Documentation

data Key Source

Represents a typical keyboard's keys. The lowercase and uppercase variants of any particular key have the same KeyCode, so there are not separate constructors for them. There is also an UnknownKey constructor for keys without a particular KeyCode.

Note that the Enum instance does not correspond to the KeyCodes, but is simply provided for convenience.

UnknownKey 

type KeyCode = Int Source

A numeric code representing the value of a pressed Key. Note that a particular Key may not uniquely map to a particular KeyCode, as the implementation of key codes is browser-dependent.

Since: 0.1

keyCodeLookup :: KeyCode -> Key Source

Determine the Key that a KeyCode represents. If one cannot be found, UnknownKey is returned.

Since: 0.1

keyCodeMap :: IntMap Key Source

An map of known KeyCodes to Keys.
